Rct 2: Slow ?? - CoasterBuzz

When I was playing for a while(15 min) my Rct2 became very slow and I figured it was because of the disk because it was hot when I took it out. Is there a way I can make it faster or is it just the game or will there be a patch to make it faster

There is a possible way of fixing this but it involves editing the Windows registry. Unless you are comfortable/skilled with doing so you might just stick with other ways. For example, there might be some background programs running in Windows that are interfering with your game session. Try closing any other unused or un-needed programs and see what happens with that.

That kind of behaviour is almost always caused by something running in the background.

It's funny that people always complain about Windows being slow, but more often than not those are the people who load it up with a thousand third-party apps running in the background.

I understand your pain. My game wont even load half the time! Makes me mad, but what do I do?

-----------------

My game always loads. it's just that it goes slow after a while and it takes 2 seconds for me to just put a roller coaster part on

How much memory do you have? That might be the problem if you're low on memory, and it starts having to swap things to disk.

It's weird mine's a little slow but when I move the view out to where there's not any sound it speeds way up.

It loads too much in my opinion

Webmaster,

Mine is slow in moving around, but that's just because of my slow computer.

I don't really know how fast mine is going, or if this is normal, but everytime I load a new scenario it says "Loading" and a little load bar comes up. Is this normal? Same thing happens when I exit out of a scenario. Also, when I start the game, two load bars come up instead of the normal one.

I had a problem after I was playing about an hour today. It was running fine then it started to slow down then after about a minute or two it locked up. I turned off the computer after ctrl, alt, delete didn't work then the game ran fine again. Has me puzzled. 8^/

Yes, that's normal for RCT2, CobraRoller. Depending on how fast your machine is (how fast the CPU is, how vast the disk drive is, how much memory you have, how good your video card is), those loading progress bar will be up for only a moment or two or for what seems like a LONG time.

It just seems slow to load the game initially, as well as to change to different games. While in-game, it seems to do fine.

add some memory, or buy a new computer, that is what I did.

Mine loads in about 30 seconds.

Ah...seems I'm not the only one with this slowing problem. And I don't exactly have an old system. Yesterday, I figured it was because there were some other things running in the background, but I took care of that. Today, the same thing is happening again.

It starts out running just fine, but after I have my park filled up with rides, it starts running slowly and jerky.

Mine is very slow and I was also wondering about that. Especially if you are quitting the game.

Again, how much memory do you have? You might want to add more. Maxing out the memory would cause that same problem. The box says "128Meg RAM recommended" for a reason. I'd say 256Meg is even better.

Hi,

Here's a question, can anyone explain why my RCT2 slows to a crawl when I explore or work on my park near the entrance? It's slows down so much...but once I move away from the entrance it works fine. I was wondering if I placed the entrance to close to the edge of the map? Is it possible to move the entrance ?

hey wings, are there alot of peopel in your park? are there alot of rides and people near your entrance?

My computer is fast enough to run it and it gets choppy when i view crowded sections of the park and when you get further away from it, it speeds up. Everyone, i assume, has this problem, if you want to call it a problem.

Like it was mentioned before, thousands of small things are goin on at once on the screen , so it will slow down.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I only have about 500 people in the park right now. Near the entrance is a large wooden coaster, but I seem to remember this problem before it was built. The people leaving the park move really slow, I will try to move things around near the gate and see what happens.

Also, Is it possible to move the current or add a new entrance to an existing park?
